Abstract
A growth equation with a generalized conservation law characterized by an integral kernel is introduced. The equation contains the Kardar-Pa risi-Zhang, Sun-Guo-Grant, and molecular-beam epitaxy growth equations as special cases and allows for a unified investigation of growth equ ations. From a dynamic renormalization-group analysis critical exponen ts and universality classes are determined for growth models with a co nservation law.
